YY1-mediated DNA looping promotes the generation of ecDNA (HiCUT)

ABSTRACT: YY1 is a widely expressed transcriptional regulatory factor that is overexpressed in various cancer types, promoting the expression of numerous oncogenes and contributing to cancer progression. It has been identified as a significant biomarker of cancer, correlating with poor prognosis in cancer patients. Moreover, YY1 is an essential regulator of DNA looping, preferentially occupying enhancers and promoters. YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter loops participate in various cancer-related biological functions by regulating gene expression. The circular nature of ecDNA suggests that its formation involves a DNA looping process. Notably, in tumor cells, YY1-mediated DNA looping is closely associated with the activation of multiple oncogenes and immunosuppressive genes, resembling the types of genes carried by ecDNA. Therefore, we investigated the link between DNA looping mediated by YY1 and ecDNA generation. We conducted YY1 HiCUT in COLO320-DM/HSR cells. We found that in COLO320-DM cells, a large number of YY1-mediated loops were located in the MYC amplification region, while only 1% of these loops were observed in the same region in COLO320-HSR cells. The result indicates YY1 mediates DNA looping through dimerization in cells has potential correlation with ecDNA biogenesis.

YY1 and Lig3 collaboratively regulate ecDNA biogenesis (CUT&Tag)

Project description:Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is an important carrier for the amplification of proto-oncogenes. It can not only drive cancer progression by increasing the copy number of oncogenes but also influence the transcriptional regulation of oncogenes by increasing chromatin accessibility and regulating chromatin interactions. Currently, the generation of ecDNA is rather complex and the exact mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying the generation of ecDNA in order to identify the targets for ecDNA-targeted drug therapies. We analyzed the chromatin landscape in COLO320-DM and COLO320-HSR cells through CUT&Tag. The results of CUT&Tag for Lig3, the open chromatin marker H3K27ac, and the promoter marker H3K4me3 showed that Lig3 was specifically enriched in the MYC ecDNA amplification regions and bound to a large number of open chromatin regions and promoter regions, indicating that Lig3 may be related to the formation of ecDNA and stably bind to ecDNA, thereby maintaining the integrity of the genes carried by ecDNA. Furthermore, we found that there were a large number of merge peaks between Lig3 and YY1 across the whole genome, which were abundantly occupied at the MYC ecDNA amplification sites. Meanwhile, we observed that in COLO320-DM cells (where oncogenes are amplified in the form of ecDNA), there was a significant enrichment of YY1 in the MYC amplification regions, while in COLO320-HSR cells (where oncogenes are amplified on the homogeneously staining regions, HSR), the peaks of YY1 were significantly decreased. Our data suggest that YY1 is essential for the generation of ecDNA. It forms a complex with Lig3 to jointly regulate the formation of ecDNA, and this complex can be detected as it resides on ecDNA for a relatively long period of time. This may also be related to the stability of ecDNA and its involvement in genomic regulation.

YY1 is a structural regulator of enhancer-promoter loops [ChIA-PET]

Project description:There is considerable evidence that chromosome structure plays important roles in gene control, but we have limited understanding of the proteins that contribute to structural interactions between gene promoters and their enhancer elements. Large DNA loops that encompass genes and their regulatory elements depend on CTCF-CTCF interactions, but most enhancer-promoter interactions do not depend on this structural protein. Here we show that the transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1) contributes to enhancer-promoter structural interactions in a manner analogous to DNA interactions mediated by CTCF. YY1 binds to active enhancers and promoter-proximal elements in all cells examined. YY1 forms dimers that can facilitate DNA interactions. Deletion of YY1 binding sites or depletion of YY1 can disrupt enhancer-promoter looping and normal gene expression. We propose that YY1-mediated enhancer-promoter interactions are a general feature of mammalian gene control.

Circular extrachromosomal DNA drives massive oncogene expression and chromatin accessibility

Project description:Oncogenes are commonly amplified on extrachromosomal DNA particles (ecDNA) in cancer, but our understanding of the structure of ecDNA and its impact on gene regulation is limited. We integrated ultrastructural imaging, long range-optical mapping, and computational analysis of whole genome sequencing to demonstrate unequivocally that ecDNA is circular. Pan-cancer analyses reveal that the oncogenes encoded on ecDNA are among the most highly expressed genes in the transcriptome of tumours, linking elevated copy with very high levels of transcription. Quantitative assessment of the chromatin state, including ATAC-seq to map the accessible genome and ATAC-see to examine spatial distribution of open chromatin, reveal that while ecDNA is chromatinized, it lacks higher order compaction typical of chromosomes. In fact, ecDNA contains the most accessible DNA in the tumour genome. Using chromosome conformation capture technologies and CRISPR interference, we reveal the differential organization of active chromatin in cancer that is dictated by the circular shape of ecDNA. Lastly, we develop comprehensive maps that provide new insight into how circular ecDNA structure determines oncogene function, bridging ecDNA biology with modern cancer genomics and epigenetics.

Oncogenic extrachromosomal DNA functions as mobile enhancers to globally amplify chromosomal transcription

Project description:Extrachromosomal, circular DNA (ecDNA) is emerging as a prevalent yet less characterized oncogenic alteration in cancer genomes. We leverage ChIA-PET and ChIA-Drop chromatin interaction assays to characterize genome-wide ecDNA-mediated chromatin contacts that impact transcriptional programs in cancers. ecDNAs in glioblastoma patient-derived neurosphere and prostate cancer cell cultures are marked by widespread intra-ecDNA and genome-wide chromosomal interactions. ecDNA-chromatin contact foci are characterized by broad and high-level H3K27ac signals converging predominantly on chromosomal genes of increased expression levels. Prostate cancer cells harboring synthetic ecDNA circles composed of characterized enhancers result in the genome-wide activation of chromosomal gene transcription. Deciphering the chromosomal targets of ecDNAs at single-molecule resolution reveals an association with actively expressed oncogenes spatially clustered within ecDNA-directed interaction networks. Our results suggest that ecDNA can function as mobile transcriptional enhancers to promote tumor progression and manifest a potential synthetic aneuploidy mechanism of transcription control in cancer.
